Entire PC backup to QNAP stalls consistently
I am trying to use Acronis True Image 2017 to do an "Entire PC" backup to a QNAP NAS.
The transfer begins and reproducibily creates a file that increases in size until it reaches exactly 12,967,936 at which point it stalls and no longer transfers.
I'm not sure if this is an Acronis problem or a QNAP problem.
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?
thanks!

Thanks for the quick response. I will try the log viewer.
Those numbers were KB, rather than MB, so it is not a space issue. I successfully saved a 110GB subfolder off of the same drive using "Files and Folders" as a source rather than "Entire PC", so it seems to be partially working.
I'll keep trying, maybe let it try overnight and see what happens.

Roger that. You may want to run chkdsk /f /r against your source drive as well. If there are dirty/bad sectors on the disk, that could cause a full disk backup to fail (where a copy would not). Particularly, becuase the bad/dirty sector lives somewhere else on the drive (A windows or system folder, the bootloader partition or a recovery partition).
Unfortunately, chkdsk may still not chck those other paritions if they are not assigned a drive letter. You can assign one using the Windows installer advanced menu command prompt and diskpart. Or, probably easier, you can run something like Seatools or WD Data lifeguard on the drive instead.
